Without their mothers, how are Baby Monkeys supposed to survive after getting released, if they can't do anything but throwing tantrums and crying?

I'm just asking honestly this question, I'm curious about how they are supposed to survive on their own

Most baby monkeys in captivity appear to have lost their mothers after being shot by farmers for attacking crops.

But baby monkeys on their own are incapable of doing anything other than throwing tantrums, crying, stimming, and clinging to adult monkeys, who seem to turn on them and end up killing them.

The tiny baby monkey in the last part would be mercilessly killed by a predator, would you want that?

They depend heavily on external care to survive, as seem in the following videos

I want you to reasonably explain how I'm wrong about wanting to get a baby monkey as a pet

I want to adopt a little baby monkey with little to no autonomy at all, and are extremely dependant of me, that needs me to change their little diapers, bottlefeed with milk and baby formula, that cries and throws tantrum every single minute because I'm the only thing their little universe spins around.

I really, seriously want to adopt a baby monkey after watching several baby monkey videos. I know just for saying this I'm in the wrong in your books, and I indeed also want to get them neutered and their teeth shaved, on top of vaccinations and such. Yes, i know is wrong, but SO? There's a lot of wrongful things that are actively getting defended in this world, a guy who wants a little baby monkey won't make it worse because it's not like the monkey mother already been killed by a farmer or held captive by a breeder.

I already looked up for which species I would consider, there's a native species in my country that I personally consider because of their small size.

(yes, I know all the crap behind them, you don't need me to reassure me on it because I'm already aware and I couldn't give a f about it), here's some examples of the very exact thing that I want.
